This bill (S 2091) gives New Jersey electric utility customers the right to refuse smart meter installation at their home or business. Utilities must provide 90 days' written notice before installing a smart meter and cannot charge fees for declining installation. Customers who decline within 30 days of notice face no fees, while those declining between 30-90 days may be charged up to $100 total. The bill applies to all residential and commercial customers of electric utilities in New Jersey and takes effect immediately (pending a 60-day delay).
